Entering elementary school, returning to junior high, and/or getting started on one’s first year in high school are all unique challenges. As more students than ever will be carrying with them smartphones and similar mobile devices into their next year, a reliable USB-C cable is not such a bad idea.

As parents ourselves, we know how worrisome it can be to not be able to reach our kids in the time of an emergency. By ensuring your child has a fast USB-C sync and charge smartphone cable, wherever they happen to be, all they need to do is plug it in and charge. There’s no need to worry about low battery power. Anywhere, anytime, they just need a plug outlet.

USB-C cables are easily one of the fastest and most advanced consumer cables in the market. In terms of sync and charge, there’s nothing faster. Featuring a slim profile, heavy duty design, and light in weight, Type-C cables like these are perfect for any smartphone, tablet, or mobile device. Though you may already have some USB-C cables kicking around at home, we don’t often think about taking them with us when we leave the house. At the same time, we’ve all been there before when we’re out and we’ve overestimated how much smartphone battery we have to work with. Don’t let that be your kids. With a USB-C cable, always ensure they’re able to call or text.
